Jane Ryan Koler

I hired Jane in 2008 to file a form with the Department of Ecology. She took months and billed me double her estimate, but did the form incorrectly. Communication was almost non-existent. I finally had to do the form myself. I consider that she stole my money. Not surprised she was disciplined by the... state.

My experience with Ms, Koler did not have a good outcome. I used her in a land use case in 2004. She started out appearing to be a decent lawyer but when my wife left me she decided she didn't like me but liked her. She had this "I'm better than you attitude" toward me and she didn't bother to tel...l me the last two times she went to court with my case. These two times that I should have been in court was for settlement damages from Snohomish County and as a result I was only awarded $1 dollar for denile of due process (actually my ex wife got that so I didn't actually get anything personally but the court awarded her fee to be payed by Snohomish County. I see she was disciplined by the State in 2014 which doesn't surprise me.

I've known Jane Koler about 30 years and recently needed her help with some land use matters: a boundary dispute and a tax foreclosure sale of property. She was professional in every way and helped me immeasurably to secure results. I know her to be ethical, hard-working, and highly knowledgeable ...in her field. Would not hesitate to use her again. I'm aware that the bar association sanctioned her over a technical discovery issue, but in my opinion it didn't amount to a hill of beans and doesn't change my opinion of her one bit.

Jane Koler is an excellent attorney. She assisted me with a zoning penalty action. She has an excellent abilty to analyze zoning problems. She thought of a great solution to our problem and convinced city officials to accept it. The city withdrew its penalty order. She has an excellent ability to... analyze city codes and think of creative theories, Jane Koler works very effectively with City officials. She has deep and extensive knowledge of land use law and as well as constitutional law which she utiliized in solving our problem.

Jane helped us through an extremely difficult situation with our neighbors and their claims on our property. It was a nightmare! She was with us through the entire ordeal. Her attention to detail was stellar...she had to research through multiple easements to resolve one claim on our property prov...ing we actually had the claim on theirs! They were burdened by an old easement from the 1970's that gave us unrestricted use of their property and not the other way around as the neighbor had claimed. When the neighbor began damaging our property and created terrible nuisance issues because they were upset with the findings of the easement use, she was the one we chose to handle our lawsuit - we were very happy with the outcome of our case and Jane was stellar in preparing us for court as well - I would highly recommend her for any property and land-use related issues. She will do a fantastic job.
